Hi all,

This may be a bit of a message in a bottle.

I was a active lurker in the OSR and indie RPG design circles on
Google+ back in the day,
and like many others I migrated when G+ shut down. I went to MeWe
initially,
but left not long after, and as a result I lost touch with a lot of
people IrCOd
been regularly following.

Lately IrCOve been trying to reconnect with that older OSR / DIY /
small-press
design crowd, the folks who were sharing drafts, blogs, odd mechanics,
and
half-finished games in comment threads, and IrCOm wondering who, if
anyone,
from that Google+ diaspora is still around here.

If you were part of that scene and are still reading, IrCOd be glad to
say hello again. No big agenda, no attempt to recreate G+ (that ship
has sailed),
just looking to re-establish a few conversations.

Thanks for indulging the nostalgia,
--

Unfortunately I found it fairly near the end. G+ was far superior to
reddit etc. in many niche areas like that, just as usenet was in it's
hayday.

I put a lot of my stuff on my web page/blog: https://sites.google.com/site/justisaursdd/

This reddit has a lot of similar design stuff: https://www.reddit.com/r/RPGdesign/
